    Our best fishing trip in Puerto Vallarta yet!

    Half Day Inshore/Nearshore Trip on October 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    An unforgettable day on the water! My husband and I had an amazing time on our fishing charter in Puerto Vallarta! We caught a bunch of fish, and the crew made the whole day so much fun. The highlight was having fresh ceviche right on the boat, made with the fish we had just caught. It doesn’t get any fresher or more delicious than that! They even fileted and packed up some of our catch so we could cook it that night, which was such a thoughtful touch and let us enjoy our day on the water all over again at dinner. If you’re looking for a fishing charter in Puerto Vallarta, we can’t recommend this one enough. We will book again in a heartbeat!

    Second Trip out same outstanding results

    5 Hours Fishing Inshore/ Nearshore on November 8, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    This was our second time in 9 months going out with this crew , and like the first time it was amazing. The crew was professional and provided an outstanding day of fishing. We caught 8 tuna, 1 large fish that i cant recall and almost a sail fish but it broke off, but not before giving us a show. We will definitely be coming back and booking tbe ITZU again.

    Yelapa beach and fishing!

    Yelapa Combo Tour Fishing, Snorkel. on February 18, 2026 • 6 adults

    We had an excellent day with the crew of the Itzu today! We booked a combo 8hr fishing/Yelapa trip. We were 3 adults and our day consisted of fishing in the morning, going to Yelapa - waterfall hike (easy), drinks at the waterfall and then to the beach for lunch and relaxation. We choose not to snorkel and instead used that time to fish a little more in the a.m. Our Captain, Tuky and the first mate, Chuy were excellent hosts and guides. We managed to catch quite a few slip jacks and a Benito during our fishing portion ( we kept 2 that they filleted for us) and had an amazing whale watching experience that was incredible! The Itzu is very well equipped and in tip-top shape. Our visit to Yelapa was lots of fun and the meals we had at the beach restaurant were fantastic (one of our better meals in PV!) We would highly recommend this trip as it was laid back and well worth it!

    Bendo!

    Half Day Inshore/Nearshore Trip on February 10, 2026 • 2 adults

    Communication was on point from the time of booking. Arrived at the Marina and the captain was there to greet us. Beautiful clean boat, plenty of room to relax and enjoy a beer. Crevalle Jack were on the chew! Hard hitting fish that will send your reel screaming!! There was a flurry of small bonito too,but the jacks won the day. Also enjoyed the company of a variety of sea birds, whales and and a ocean sea turtle. Great for a buddies trip or the whole family!!

    Fantastic day on the water!

    3/4 Day Fishing Inshore / Offshore on February 1, 2026 • 6 adults

    We had a great experience with Itzu! Irvin & Chuey were excellent! Irvin made fresh ceviche from our catch on the boat and Chuey always had us in the right position to catch fish casting right on top of a feeding school of Crevalle Jack. The boat was in great condition and the sound system was awesome! We were able to Bluetooth our music. Chuey was always quick with a fresh beer from the cooler when needed. Make sure to bring your own beer or cocktails. We will definitely book them again!

    Tuki and Chui - awesome guides, awesome people

    Full Day Offshore Big Game Fishing on January 4, 2026 • 4 adults

    These guys were excellent! So nice, jovial, accommodating, knowledgeable, anticipatory of any need, AND we caught many small tuna and one huge 70lb sailfish when many charters were striking out today. They offered chicken tacos in the morning, fresh ceviche with the tuna we caught, and filleted all the sailfish in custom portions in ziplocks to conveniently take after the trip! Highly recommend Itzu and Tuki and Chui!

    My son really wanted to catch a big fish and they made sure to do their best to make that happen. We not only got one big fish but two! We had a great time and would have had a great time without catching the fish but that made it excellent!

    We had an amazing time fishing with the Itzu crew. Chuy and Irving were absolutely wonderful! We caught a couple fish for each person on our boat and had the best time! The crew even made us fresh ceviche with our first catch of the day.

    We did the 5 hour tour just hoping to catch whatever. The boat was easy to find and the captain wasn’t there but pointed us to his crew. Irvin and Chino were very good guys and tried extremely hard to get us on the fish. The bite was slow at first but they kept trying and we eventually caught some skipjack tunas late in the day. They cut up one and made some delicious ceviche on board which was great and we all enjoyed. They then were nice enough to drop us off at a marina closer to our hotel so we didn’t have to taxi as far back which was so nice of them and they didn’t have to do it! All in all would have loved to catch a few more desirable fish species but they definitely tried and they just weren’t biting. Glad to have at least caught something and the crew, boat, and day out of the water was great! Thank you!

    Fishing started a little slow, but the captain kept changing lures and trolling until we found something that worked. Good communication and captain met us at the designated spot on time.
